I personally had similar experience when installing on newer Dell servers and found the issue to be the LSI drivers. While installation found the hard drive and completed installation, I found that I needed to load the latest LSI drivers during the install to get the system to boot correctly. I checked the Dell site and they do provide drivers for Red Hat 7.3, so I would try loading the appropriate drivers for your system. -- Cheers, Jeff - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
